A Wonder of West Texas
The New York Times discovers one of the many remarkable features of Texas -- the oasis in the West Texas desert known as Balmorhea. 200 miles from El Paso near Pecos, Balmorhea has a remarkable 3.5 million gallon, spring-fed pool that supports a varied aquatic ecosystem, including tiny tetra fish, huge catfish and rare pupfish. Scuba divers say that the water clarity is unparalleled, but the remote location of the park means that the park is never crowded. Read the entire article and learn about one of Texas' treasures that even many Texans know nothing about.
